How do you guys watch this ? watching WC got me craving for more... You can find streams easily. I can pm you sites if you want. IPL is T20 smash and bang cricket. Watered down batsmen dominated version of the game to cater to people who dont want to spend more than 2-3 hours to watch a game. 20 overs a side, The thing with the IPL is that its mega money and so most top players will go there so its high quality stuff. Part of the reason one day cricket is so aggressive now is because of T20 and IPL. Its also the reason teams like NZ are better because there is more money because of IPL and also there is alot of knowledge sharing because its a franchise system where different nationalities get together + Show Spoiler + Before a guy from NZ which isnt a major cricket country would get his match fees from International games and really didnt have anything left over when they retired. Now with IPL you are motivated to play more cricket because the money is there and you will get decent retirement income. Back in the day a John Wright a former NZ captain worked as a sales clerk as a department store after retiring (he became a coach later.) The down side is these players prefer IPL to the domestic game or county cricket which make you better players overall. Anyone can smash and bang for 20 overs a side but it also means you lose alot of the arts to play the longer format of the game.It gives less skilled players who are hitting specialists more margin for error Obviously there are more variables and this is a terribly incomplete assessment but it should give you a good idea. What it is for sure, is exciting and innovative=with lots of boundary hitting (hence its popularity) And since its in cricket crazy India the atmosphere is always intense. | ||

How do you guys watch this ? watching WC got me craving for more... The IPL will go on for about 2 months and in that time their will be one or two "tours" which is when a team travels to a country for a month or two, and play games across all three matchups (test odi t20) so if you still want to watch longer matches be on the lookout for that. 95% of cricket ends up being these bilateral tours. I know in sometime in April-May Pakistan travels to Bangladesh for example | ||
